Hi,

I have compiled kernel 2.6.31.4 and apply real-time patch
"patch-2.6.31.4-rt14.bz2"
Then I wanted to install "kdb", and I followed instructions from this site:

http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-kdbug/

and I selected these patches:

kdb-v4.4-2.6.31-x86-4.bz2
kdb-v4.4-2.6.31-common-4.bz2

One patch was patched without problems [not sure which one :) ] and
other one had one
line with rejection [something about serial port]. Anyway, I compiled
kernel, and booted
into it after.

Questions:

1. When I press pause key everything freezes ? Is it because that one line of
rejection during patching ?

2. How do you invoke kdb ? When you invoke it properly, will "kdb"
shell will be visible in
terminal ?

regards

There are some mm pages in Documentation/kdb subdirectory of the
kernel tree (assuming the tree was patched with kdb patch) which you read
like this:

# nroff -man kdb.mm | less

And no, you can't display source code with kdb. To do that use kgdb which
is available from:

http://kgdb.sourceforge.net

Hello,

  Is there any detailed descriptions on how to use kdb? I would like to
know if it is possible to display the source code ( as in GDB ) in kdb.

TIA.
